Important Info for 6th Grade Parents
To view your 6th grader’s 7th grade course selections for next year, the Skyward preview window will be open for one week, May 3rd- May 10th. This course listing will include application courses and math courses in which your student has been included.
Any changes during that period of time may be made through the elementary counselor. Changes after May 10th must be made by contacting the middle school counselor.
If your 6th grader qualified for Pre-AP Math 7 and you do NOT want them in that course, you will need to see your elementary school counselor for the “Drop Form” to get that changed during this window of time. If your 6th grader did not get placed in Pre-AP Math 7, there will be another qualification round after data examination in June which includes 6th grade STAAR Math and math report card grades.This decision is final and there will be no appeals.
